    It’s surprisingly easy to obtain lists of MAGA Republicans. Their address and phone numbers.

    These people get “letters from Trump” saying he needs donations with instructions on how to donate. And they do donate! Millions and millions. Except how many of these letters are legitimate? Do they even know how to verify?

    All the pieces for pulling off the easiest scam ever are in place. I mean, the man himself is a con artist and classic swindler but I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if a huge number of “donations” end up in the pockets of completely different scammers.

      If I had the technical know how, I would 100% do this. Set myself up for early retirement.
